[glasgow guy]

also being a glasgow boy I have been to firhill many a time over the years when 'thistle' were in the spl and my team were in town, its not the best ground in the world by any standards and maryhill can be a bit rough to say the least.. although thistle fans are generally a friendly bunch and I am sure they will give you a good time..train from preston to glasgow central station, then jump a taxi to the ground from the station - will probably cost about £20 but it will be a black hackney so between 5 of you its only £4 a skull, cheap as chips and there in no time....and garinda is right about great western road..load of nice little pubs on it...and only about 6 mile from firhill park...and dont forget to leave your bank of england £20 notes at home as the dark and dingy little pubs in maryhill may refuse to take them due to forgeries...the same way as alot of shops & pubs down here wont take my bank of scotland notes when I return after a weekend in glasgow....its annoying as some of you may find out...should be a good do...I may be in glasgow that weekend and take the game in...free digs in glasgow and an afternoon of footy..sorted !!
